There it is again! Here's this feature you've been waiting for. Where's the bit we were really waiting for? Oh, it'll happen. Maybe.

I don't buy that, and even if that's factually true, Virgin sold Flextech to Sky in 2010 - effectively flogging off their bargaining chip. As I understand it, part of the deal was carriage of the basic channels then in existence for an extended period.
Clearly, whoever compiled the deal neglected to include basic channels which Sky might later launch, including Sky Atlantic - but never mind that, what if Sky were to launch Sky 1a, and move all their premier programming from Sky 1 over to there? Effectively this would place VM in exactly the same place they were in 6 years ago, except this time Virgin would have no channels of their own to bargain with.
In other words, it's Virgin's fault they don't have access to Sky Atlantic.
